This porcelain integrates glaze and underglaze. In the production process, high-temperature firing is first applied to the porcelain. Next, yellow glaze is applied to the blank spaces. Finally, the porcelain is baked at a low temperature between 850 degrees to 900 degrees. Among many monochrome glazes, the yellow glaze had the strictest control by the royal family. Because the Chinese characters for yellow and emperor sound very similar, yellow glaze porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was only permitted for royal usage, and no one was allowed to overstep the emperor's authority.
